158: Chapter 158 Mad God

Mad Dog was currently breathless under the pressure of the divine descent, and he was also completely exasperated by this Mad God's temperament.

The path had been fought through.

The seal had been found.

The god had been invited down.

But he never imagined that in the end, persuading the Mad God to shatter the seal would actually be so difficult.

Continuously enduring divine power was causing his body to be constantly injured, and even his brain felt a bit stiff. He knew he couldn't hold on much longer, but he didn't know how to make this Mad God follow orders.

Just then, a familiar green light lit up from his body.

Mad Dog couldn't help but feel his spirits lift.

He knew this was Tang Long's miraculous ability; the injuries he sustained in previous battles had all been treated by Tang Long along the way.

Although the recovery speed wasn't fast and likely couldn't keep up with the exhaustion, it could at least allow him to hold on a bit longer.

More importantly, he knew Tang Long was very clever and might be able to think of a solution.

So he immediately turned back and asked, "Brother Tang, what should we do?"

"Forget it."

"Forget it?"

"He can't open the seal at all, so He's just rambling on and on. It's a pure waste of time."

With just that one sentence, the Mad God instantly flared up.

"Little thing! Who are you saying is incompetent! Are you talking about this God?"

The Mad God's roar left Tang Long's ears ringing, but he still nodded very sincerely.

The Mad God grew even angrier. "This God said, that's not even a seal!"

"If it's not a seal, it should break with a single poke, right? Try poking it."

"And what if I poke it and it breaks!"

"Then I will acknowledge you as the most wise and powerful existence in the world, spread your greatness throughout the mortal realm, establish a religion and temples for you, and attract millions of believers!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"If you can't do it, I'll... I'll swallow your soul!"

"Deal! As long as you can poke it open."

The Mad God was furious; He reached out a finger and poked the crystal.

And then...

Mad Dog, Tang Long, and Golden Scorpion all held their breath, preparing for the impending collapse.

The Mad God Himself remained motionless, as if the air had frozen.

But the quieter the scene became, the more awkward the atmosphere grew.

Until more than a minute later, Mad Dog couldn't help but ask two words.

"That's it?"

The Mad God smiled extremely awkwardly; He scratched his head and ears, beginning to mutter to Himself again.

"Did we not eat today?"

"More than just today, we haven't eaten for... seven thousand four hundred and fifty years."

"Then it's reasonable. One has no strength without eating; it's normal that it didn't break."

"You are quite right. Moreover, our host is simply too weak. Less than one percent of our divine soul has descended; we certainly can't exert much power."

"What one percent? I'd say not even a ten-thousandth or a millionth. Back then, we smashed the Divine Realm and crushed the heads of several Star Gods in a row. How could we possibly fail to open a single seal?"

"Exactly, exactly. Plus, this is Suviman's territory; it's full of stench, which affects the mood too much."

Golden Scorpion was dumbfounded; he only now realized that this god was actually so weak He couldn't even break a seal.

Mad Dog was even more faint with rage. "You... you..."

Before he could say anything too extreme, Tang Long quickly interrupted him and encouraged the Mad God.

"Great deity, your great power is beyond doubt. Even with all these distractions, I think what just happened was most likely just an accident."

The Mad God suddenly perked up, looking down at Tang Long with an ugly-yet-cute smile.

"You really think so? I think what you said makes a lot of sense!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It must have been an accident! This is definitely the most correct explanation. Accidents happen every day."

"For example, last time we fought with Yuan, we wanted to rip off His head but didn't succeed, and instead, He knocked out two of our teeth. Later we summarized many lessons, but missed this one—it turns out that was an accident!"

"Hahaha!"

"Kid, I didn't realize you were so smart; no wonder you gained the favor of the God of Wisdom. But regarding this kind of thing, try not to tell others."

"I certainly won't go around talking about it."

Tang Long nodded repeatedly; eighty percent of what he said was actually true.

Although the Mad God was insane, an insane god was still a god. Could He really not even break a single seal?

Tang Long thought it was impossible.

Either He was being perfunctory, or He truly couldn't exert His proper power due to various interferences. But even so, breaking a Huagai Realm Realm seal shouldn't be impossible.

What if He tried a few more times?

So he continued, "However, I feel that for you two, shattering this low-grade seal is not a problem at all."

"I think you two might as well try a few more times; maybe it will shatter then."

"As long as you shatter it, what is there to fear from others knowing? Why not announce it openly?"

"Of course, we don't need to mention exactly how many times you hit it. In any case, only the final strike counts as the one."

The Mad God grinned from ear to ear, both heads leaning in toward Tang Long.

"Truly worthy of being an admirer of this God; he is so smart!"

"Truly worthy of being the little partner's little partner; he is so good to us."

"Look at his head; it must be filled with wisdom."

"Exactly, we're the ones who put it in there!"

"Look at his eyes; they sparkle with the light of wisdom!"

"Exactly, that is all the radiance of you two!" Tang Long quickly cut in. "I think the sooner this is finished, the better. You two can act first, and then I can slowly appreciate your supreme wisdom."

Both of the Mad God's heads nodded together, then He turned and pointed, poking the crystal once more.

This time, the crystal jolted violently, and a very round white dot was poked into it.

The smiles on the Mad God's two heads froze simultaneously, as if He were very surprised and not very happy.

But Tang Long cheered loudly and began to clap.

"It's working! Since there's a mark, it means a change has occurred. Again!"

The Mad God's eyes lit up. "Right, that makes sense!"

Another poke went in, and the white dot deepened, but it was clearly still very far from shattering.

"Beautifully done! As long as you keep going, it will eventually shatter!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Keep it up!"

"Again!"

Tang Long cheered and flattered vigorously, and the Mad God obediently attacked the seal over and over again.

After poking it dozens of times, cracks had clearly appeared on the seal, extending in all directions under the impact.

The Mad God was already a bit too tired to move, so Tang Long immediately upped the ante.

"Did you all see that? Even in such a harsh environment, the God of Wisdom still created such proud results. This is the power of wisdom!"

"What does this show? It shows that no matter who it is, no one can stop Him! No one is smarter than Him!"

"With only a billionth of His power, He can destroy the seal of a priest in the Red God's territory. What if He used all His power? I think even if the Sun God were resurrected, He would be no match for Him."

"Not just the Sun God; I think all those various messy gods put together couldn't compare to the God of Wisdom."

Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion were both stunned, thinking to themselves, 'Brother, how do you dare to shout such slogans?'

But the Mad God clearly enjoyed it; though He was repeatedly humble, the smile on His face couldn't be hidden at all.

"Not quite, not quite. Compared to the ancient Sun God, we are still a bit short."

"But compared to those other pieces of trash, what he said is actually about right."

Tang Long opened his arms again and said loudly, "You two, I disagree with that. The Sun God is dead; who can prove He was stronger than you?"

"Even if He was a tiny bit stronger in the past, after all these years, you have grown even more!"

"Don't forget, just now you were only using one finger the whole time, but you have four arms. If you used your full strength..."

The Mad God was listening with relish, looking very excited, as if He were eagerly waiting for Tang Long to continue.

But just then, the High Priest's face suddenly appeared on the seal's ice crystal, and he immediately shouted to interrupt Tang Long.

"Tang Long! Stop bewitching this Divine Lord!"

The Mad God suddenly turned His head, the smiles on His two faces instantly turning into ferocity and rage.

"Bewitch? This God is the God of Wisdom; who can bewitch this God? You dare to doubt this God's wisdom?"

The High Priest's face wavered for a moment, but it quickly stabilized.

"Excellency God of Wisdom, this is the protected land of my Lord, the Red God. Please leave."

"A lackey of that thief Suviman dares to order this God around! Come out and speak to me!"

As He spoke, the Mad God's divine shadow reached out and snatched; the seal instantly collapsed in a large area, and the High Priest's phantom was actually dragged out by Him and gripped in His hand.
